Today, at its Annual Awards Ceremony, the Living Wage Foundation announced that it was awarding Clean for Good with a Living Wage Champion Award 2021. We are, of course, delighted!
We have been awarded the ‘Against All Odds’ Award for our leadership in bringing change to the cleaning sector. The Living Wage Foundation said this:
“At last night’s Living Wage Champion Awards, Clean for Good was recognised for its trailblazing leadership in advancing the real Living Wage within their sector, showing that not only is paying a real Living Wage in the cleaning sector possible, but that doing so can help to change the industry as a whole for the better.
Clean for Good was awarded the prestigious prize for its commitment to the real Living Wage in the face of a generally low-paying sector. Clean for Good has been a leader within their industry, setting a new standard for employee welfare within the traditionally lower-paying cleaning sector.”
Such an award is always as a result of a huge team effort - our initial investors, our cleaners and managers and, of course, our customers - all of them have made this possible.
The Living Wage movement has been gathering pace for 20 years and with 7,000 employers now accredited by the Living Wage Foundation, the movement is having a real impact.
For our part, we will continue to work for the day when every cleaner in the UK earns a Living Wage and has dignified work.
